Looping one of more videos

    Hi all

    I need to automatically start and loop one or more video at startup. I'm using https://videolooper.de/ for this at the moment, automatically playing off whatever h.264 file(s) placed on a thumbdrive, but it doesn't handle large files too well, whereas LibreELEC can indeed handle 1080p even on a pi2. So I read that to start autoplayback and loop a single file, I can just add this to Startup.xml

    <onload>PlayerControl(Repeat)</onload>
    <onload>PlayMedia(/path/to/file.ext)</onload>

    Fine, but I found that file in /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.estuary/xml/, on the root filesystem, which is squashfs, which again is read-only.

    - Any idea how to fix this easily?
    - Also - even if it's fixable by "just" making a new filsystem with the correct xml file on it, I still need a way to change the filename to be played, at runtime.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Not booting without Keyboard attached

    New to this, love how easy this setup was, even for a novice like myself. I have an older Intel NUC "DC3217IYE" that I have configured to run an autoexec auto play loop script for a media unit I am using at my shop TV on a wall. It works perfectly that way!

    However, I would LOVE if it did not require a keyboard hooked up on first boot up. I tested my setup if there was a power failure and was hoping it would fire right back up. It didn't, and hung forever right before the LibreELEC splash…
